Haynie 24 VLS

2023 Haynie 24 VLS, 2023 Haynie 24 VLS — Tournament Speed. Shallow-Water Precision.

The 2023 Haynie 24 VLS (Very Low Side), available at Ron Hoover RV & Marine, is a handcrafted Texas bay boat built for serious tournament anglers who demand speed, control, and shallow-water capability without compromise. Known for its aggressive performance and precision handling, the 24 VLS is designed to dominate both rough open bays and skinny flats.

Featuring a 24-foot hull with an exceptionally shallow 10-inch draft, the VLS lives up to its name with a lower gunnel height that allows anglers to work fish easily and efficiently. Despite its shallow-water prowess, this hull is engineered to handle heavy chop with confidence, delivering a smooth, controlled ride at high speeds. Rated for up to 400 horsepower, the 24 VLS is commonly paired with 300–400HP outboards and is capable of reaching 60–70 mph, making it a true “go-fast” bay boat.

With an 8’3” beam and an approximate dry weight of 1,700 lbs, the boat balances agility with stability, allowing for quick hole shots and responsive maneuvering. A 73-gallon fuel tank supports long tournament days and extended runs across the bay.

As a custom-built Haynie, layouts and features are often tailored to the original owner and may include custom aluminum work, raised consoles, K-tops, advanced LED lighting, and multiple seating configurations. Fishing-focused rigs typically include oversized livewells, Bob’s hydraulic jack plates, premium Garmin electronics, trolling motors, and extensive storage throughout.

Fast, shallow, and purpose-built, the 2023 Haynie 24 VLS is a premium bay boat for anglers who refuse to slow down—available now at Ron Hoover RV & Marine.
